The Reviews

Written By: Clair Proctor

We used Bennett’s for our wedding cake. We went to a couple different places for cake tastings, and Bennett’s was the only bakery that had a tasting that took place in the kitchen (which I love). They are very flexible and have a lot of options. We ended up choosing a white cake, with a lemon filling, and a blueberry filling. It was delicious! I was not sure how I wanted the cake decorated, but I knew that I wanted a cake that was real and not a styrofoam cake. While I was not sure exactly what I wanted the cake to look like, I went on their website and found a cake called “A Day at the Park” that I fell in love with. We emailed back and forth, and they made a custom cake that was perfect! I have never been to a wedding where people talked about the cake as much as my wedding.

Our cake was DELICIOUS!! I don’t care what they say, I just had to add another star. The cake was not only beautiful, but truly delicious. I care about these things because when you are wedding planning, taste and looks are very important. I care about taste because my mom and I would sit and eat a piece after the tasting without batting an eye, it was a very satisfying experience. The cake was light, full of flavor and not too sweet. We had a layer of raspberry cream, a layer of chocolate ganache and a layer of chocolate mousse. We had a very unique cake because we wanted something different that was still elegant and you can’t find everywhere…we wanted a cake that looked like a piece of artemize cookies. They made us a beautiful cake that was a combination of edible gold, glitter and silver leaf, and a couple of our favorite spices. I was very impressed by the look, especially because it was so unique. I was impressed by the taste, especially because we had tried many many cakes and usually least care about the taste, but this cake was truly memorable. I was impressed by the service, because the one time I spoke to someone was when I ordered, and the time we had the tasting, so easy and friendly. Don’t be fooled by the price, which is very competitive with other places, the cake was worth every penny without a doubt. I am counting the days until our first anniversary so I can enjoy it again, it was that good. I have been to many weddings and some of the cakes were very pretty, but very dry and you could tell the person saying that they just didn’t have a passion for baking, me neither, but if you do, this is the place. It’s not just a cake, it’s an experience. You can’t find everywhere a cake like this.
